Q. Why doesn't Chris attend to his apparently dead woman friend and simply walk past her? Also, What was the basketball game and city walking meant to symbolize? A journey with life without her in a sped up summarized way? That still then doesn't explain the ending on a mattress in a BMX park.

Q. One day I was listening Lost! in my iPod, and I suddenly noticed that the cover of this song is like a map (well, that's what I think it is) and it says in the background Matto Grosso, so I have two questions about this, dear Oracle:
- Do you know what Matto Grosso means?
- And if it is a real place, why does it appear in the cover of the single Lost!?
Thank you for your answer
Hope to see Coldplay here in Latin America soon.

Q. In 2001 I remember seeing Coldplay play Leicester's Victoria Park as part of Radio 1's One Big Sunday. I've searched and searched for video footage of this gig as it would have been the first time I saw them live. Just wondered if you have any footage lurking about, I'd love to relive it.
I remember they played songs from Parachutes and their encore was God Put a Smile Upon Your Face. Amazing!!!
Hope you can help. x

Q. TEAM ORACLE QUESTION #213
I'm 27 years, never properly travelled or lived away from home. I'd love to live in a city like London for a year or at least I think I do. Is it wise at my age or should I stick to my career and save money (I'm an Environmental Health and Safety Graduate).
I also come from a Farm and always feel guilty when I'm away not helping Dad, (even though I don't really enjoy it and probably not much good at it, ha).
Anyway What do you think??

Q. WHO'D LIKE TO JOIN TEAM ORACLE?

As you may know, we have a weekly feature, Team Oracle, whereby each Friday we open questions of a personal nature to all of you to answer too. I will post a selection of the best answers, alongside my own reply.

ANYONE can join in so, if you'd like to, please email your response to the following question, in no more than 250 words, to theoracle@coldplay.com

Please note the closing date is midnight Thursday 14 May, as I'll be away next week.

There's a guy who seems really interested in me, and he's kind and all, I kind of like him, but I'm not really sure if I want a relationship. However I'm 20, and I've never had a relationship before, and it just feels like once I have to have one. I have to start somewhere, and somehow it just feels very fast.
Should I try and go along with it, hoping it will actually turn out to be good, or not being sure about it should be a warning sign?
How can I know if I'm ready?
Thanks for your answer in advance, Liza, Hungary.

Q. TEAM ORACLE QUESTION #212
Perhaps it is not really relevant, it is important for me... I'm a very insecure and shy guy, and it is difficult for me to talk to a girl.
The point is that sometimes I fall in love with some girl I know just for a month, it seems stupid, but usually happens, the question is: Am I a womanizer? Thank you in advance.

Q. Hey Oracle, Hope you are doing great! A good while back you answered a question with regards to a video of The Scientist, performed at Glastonbury 2005. The band as you recall took crowd pics after the song.
Any ideas what sites they may have shown up on, would really love to see them.

Q. Can anyone identify the font used in the intro titles for the Paradise music video? It's the same font that the current Parlophone logo uses. I'm not sure if the crooked O's are part of the font or have been tweaked. Thanks!

Q. Hello, I am a huge fan of Coldplay and I would like to do guitar covers of some of their songs like Don't Panic, White Shadows, and Square One (I would have the recordings playing as I play)... However I recently learned about the copyright laws of YouTube and would like to avoid any copyright. So I guess what I am asking is whether I am allowed to do this, and if not, then how do I get permission.

Q. Hi, dear Oracle !! I have this question that keeps me wondering all the time, it's about the clothes that the band wears. My question is: who decides the kind of clothes they will gonna wear on tour and how are they made.
Thank you very very much!

Q. TEAM ORACLE QUESTION #211
I have this friend. She hates my guts now. She won't talk to me at all. We were best friends. She said she doesn't have a reason why she hates me... I'm crushed and I've been listening to Warning Sign a lot now. What do I do? I see her 6 times a week.

Q. Hi Oracle, I wanted to ask you whether the book they show in the video of Life in Technicolor ii really exists? Is yes, where can I get it from? I hope you answer my question, I have been thinking about that for a while now.
Lots of love.

Q. Hello All Knowledgeable Oracle! It would be such an honor if you would answer my question I give to you...
I came across this song called Light Through The Veins by John Hopkins on one of my iTunes radios. When I first heard it, it sounded awfully like the beginning of Life In Technicolor. It basically has the same exact notes as the beginning of the boys song, which is kind of frustrating to me. Do you have an explanation for this, dear Oracle? Did John Hopkins pull a Vanilla Ice on Coldplay? Or is this just a remix of some sort?
Thank you! I wish you a wonderful day.

Q. Hello Oracle,
I've written to you before but none of my questions have ever been answered :(
So, I was wondering why do the band not play many songs from X&Y live? The album is certainly a fan favorite and I know many other Coldplay fans would like to hear the songs be played live!
All the best,
Aaron

Q. TEAM ORACLE QUESTION #212
A dear friend of mine passed away last year in May at the very young age of 19. Rather than being distraught on the anniversary of his death, I'm hoping to do something special to celebrate his life. Do you have any suggestions? I'm currently in Sydney, Australia and he loved the mountains, good beer, and adventure, if that helps. I'm just not sure what to do and I need ideas because the last thing he'd want is for me to spend the day grieving in my room.
I appreciate your advice.
